dsl wire connection switch
Have SBC DSL service. Am presently connected to outside box with normal telephone 4 wire [red, yellow, green, black] cable. Have thought about replacing this cable with Cat 5, for example using the twisted pair green - green/white to replace the single green wire in the present cable set up. Cost for the Cat 5 cable is $.10/ft, would need about 80 feet. Anyone out there with thoughts on this switch? TIA.

The correct wiring diagram is as follows:
white with blue = green = tip
white with orange = black = tip
blue with white = red = ring
orange with white = yellow = ring

Thanks for all the input. Sorry about not getting back to you any earlier. Present telephone lines are working OK. Just thought that modem performance might improve with thicker wires, just as speakers improve with thicker wires. Thought that using the green - green/white in place of the standard green, brown - brown/white for red, blue - blue/white for black, & orange - orange/white for yellow might give a performance boost. Just ran a dsl speed test with a server from Los Angeles: 148.5/sec transfer rate, 1188 kbps download speed, 311 kbps upload speed.
